Three Republican-led states to send National Guard troops to DC

Three Republican-led states, Florida, Idaho, and Utah, have announced plans to send National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. in response to the ongoing protests against President Trump's decision to deploy federal law enforcement and military personnel in the nation's capital. The decision by these states has been met with criticism from local residents, who view it as a political move to support the president's actions. Protesters have been voicing their concerns over the use of federal forces, arguing that it infringes on the rights of citizens to peacefully demonstrate. The deployment of National Guard troops from these Republican-led states is seen as a way to bolster the presence of security forces in Washington, D.C., despite the opposition from local residents. The situation highlights the ongoing tensions between the federal government and state authorities, as well as the broader debate surrounding the role of the military in domestic affairs.
